It tasted like a strong chewing tobacco with a hint of what ever fruity topping the rope had (I tried a few). I'd take redman over rope given the choice. I haven't chewed redman in at least 10 years.

Here's another question I've always thought was too dumb to ask. On the cigar side most people take pictures of their cigars for the "What are you smoking" thread. Why don't we do as many pics on the pipe side?
I left my pipe in my truck over the night. It was below freezing. I am assuming the pipe is fine, but I should let the pipe rest a while before using it. Is this correct?
My Sav has a balsa filter. I don't mind the filter as it doesn't seem to impede anything. How often should the filter get replaced? What is the difference between Balsa and paper filters? What is the main purpose for the Balsa filter?
The Balsa filters absorb moisture rather than filter. The paper filters trap tar. A good substitute for a paper filter which will restrict the smoke less and affect the flavour less is to take a pipe cleaner and cut it in half, then fold the half pipe cleaner in half. Insert your pipe cleaner filter into the filter chamber with the point toward the bowl. This is cheaper and in my opinion much better than a store bought filter. It traps quite a bit of tar and does not affect the flavour. I personally smoke without a filter and just use more pipe cleaners to clean the filter chamber.
I actually take quite a few pictures....but I haven't been posting them here. Back in Sept when Puff had its second (for me) extended outage, I joined another forum and I'm still quite active there. I post in their thread and sometimes people can get crotchety about cross posting (this comes from my experience with many different hobby forums, I have never been chastised for it here). I still do it if I think the content is worth it (for instance my Peg Board thread), but haven't been for things like what are you smoking.
That being said, it only takes a few seconds to post it again if peeps want to know what I'm smoking and the cross post isn't offensive.
I know I'd enjoy seeing the pipes, but I don't smoke and peruse the thread often enough that I'd want to ask anyone to change anything for me.
I was wondering if it was just one of those "this is just kinda how we've always done it" things, or if pipe pics were verboten or something.
